Bought it to replace the measly 256gb hard drive in my Surface Pro 8. Everything worked out great in the end, though I ran into a few problems. If you are planning to swap Surface drives, here's what I went through: At first the surface didn't turn on at all, though I think it was a power adapter issue. A couple force restarts solved it. I also wanted to get rid of Windows 11 and install Windows 10 from a separate boot SSD. That worked out fine, though the keyboard and the touchscreen wouldn't work at all during the re-install (make sure you have wired keyboard/mouse and some kind of a USB to USB-c dock). Once Windows got installed, the keyboard and touchscreen drivers got downloaded so after one last restart, everything is working great. The hard drive reads as ~950GB, which is fine. Last and best thing about this SSD - it saves you about $450 from Surface 8 price with 1TB drive. So if you are looking to get a Surface, whether 8 or 9, you can save a lot of money by going with the smallest storage option and replacing your SSD with this one. Read full review

The Surface Laptop 3 is very good but can be limited on the storage space so I was looking into the upgrade of the SSD. This Western Digital drive is compatible offering plenty of space and it is blazing fast. Boot times are faster than before.

Excellent replacement/expansion drive for Surface Pro 8. Easy to install. Shipment was prompt and came well protected. Only downside is you have to reinstall Windows and all your programs which was time consuming, but well worth it to end up with so much more storage.

I installed the Western Digital SN530 1TB SSD into my new SURFACE PRO 8 tablet. After applying the Recovery Drive for my tablet it booted up fast and I am extremely happy with the SSD.
